9/14/2012 - A weapons load crew member from the 81st Aircraft Maintenance unit, prepares to load a training bomb onto an A-10 Thunderbolt II for a training exercise Sept. 12, during Ramstein Rover 2012 here. The A-10 is providing close air support for a forward air control training mission. A-10 Thunderbolt IIs from the 81st FS are participating in the NATO exercise to provide close air support to partnering nations and practice forward air control missions with allies in international security assistance force realistic scenarios. Participating in exercises like RARO 12 ensures effective employment of airpower in support of alliance or coalition forces while mitigating risks to civilians in contingency operations.
